Equipment

large saute pan
Small frying pan
baking tray
Paper towels
Spatula

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
16 ounces refried beans
⅓ cup taco sauce
1 ½ cups shredded 3 cheese blend
¼ cup diced tomatoes
¼ cup sliced green onions
8 flour tortillas street taco or fajita size
2 Tablespoons oil for frying

Instructions

In a large saute pan, place the ground beef and break it apart. Sprinkle it with the packet of taco seasoning and mix well. Fry until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In a small frying pan, place the 2 tablespoons of oil and fry each tortilla for 1-2 minutes, just until lightly golden brown. Place them on a paper towel lined plate to drain while frying the remaining tortillas.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Take one tortilla and spread a small amount of refried beans in an even layer over the entire tortilla.
Scoop some ground beef and spread it over the beans. Top with another tortilla.
Pour about a tablespoon of taco sauce over the tortilla and spread cheese over the top of the sauce.
Place the pizza onto a baking tray and repeat until all pizzas are assembled.
Place the pan into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Remove and top with the diced tomatoes and green onions. Slice and serve hot!
